Mr Blobby was a familiar figure on TV through the 1990s - but the successful bidder got cold feet it would seem

It is perhaps one of the more unusual items from the 1990s to go up for auction on eBay, but one that attracted dozens of bids. The iconic Mr Blobby suit, a figure familiar to many from shows including Noel’s House Party, had fetched £62,000 on the online auction website.

However, the person behind the successful bid has since backed out of the purchase despite placing 10 bids in total for the suit. The item was placed on ebay by a person claiming to be a former BBC employee with a starting bid of just £39.
